          FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SecureCARE

(the “Holder” or “Payee”) or registered assigns the
principal amount of XXXXX XXXXX Dollars ($XX,XXX.XX) (the “Principal Amount”) on December 31, 2008
(the “Maturity Date”); provided,
however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein
or elsewhere, the Company, shall have the sole right to extend the Maturity
Date (the “Extension”) to
December 31, 2009 (the “Extension Period”).
To effectuate the Extension, the Company shall provide written notice to the
Holder of the Extension no later than five (5) business days prior to the
Maturity Date. In the event this Note is extended pursuant to the Extension,
interest on the unpaid balance on this Note shall accrue at the rate of 9% per
annum during the Extension Period. The Principal Amount and all accrued
interest hereon is payable in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of
public and private debts. 


          This
Note and other identical Notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to
$500,000 (a “Note” and
collectively the “Notes”)
which is identical in terms to a series of notes aggregating $1,500,000
previously issued to investors (collectively the “First Series Notes”) is
issued to the Payee in connection with a private placement (the “Offering”), of units (the
“Units”), each Unit consisting of a Note
and shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share of the Company at the
rate of one share of Common Stock for each $2.50 Principal Amount of Note for a
maximum of 200,000 shares (the “Common
Stock”) pursuant to a Subscription Agreement by and between the
Company and the Payee (the “Subscription
Agreement”), a copy of which Subscription Agreement is available
for inspection at the Company’s principal office. Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary contained herein or elsewhere, this Note is subject and
entitled to certain terms, conditions, covenants and agreements contained in
the Subscription Agreement. Any transferee of this Note, by its acceptance
hereof, assumes the obligations of the Payee in the Subscription Agreement with
respect to the conditions and procedures for transfer of this Note. Reference
to the Subscription Agreement shall in no way impair the absolute and
unconditional obligation of the Company to pay both the Principal Amount and
accrued interest thereon as provided herein. The Company must extend the
Maturity Date of all of the Notes if it extends the Maturity Date of any of the
Notes or any of the First Series Notes. 






          Interest
on this Note shall accrue on the Principal Amount outstanding from time to time
at a rate per annum computed in accordance with Section 2 hereof and
shall be payable in accordance with Section 2 hereof. All payments by
the Company hereunder shall be applied first to pay any interest which is due,
but unpaid, then to reduce the Principal Amount. 


          The
Company (i) waives presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind in
connection with this Note and (ii) agrees, in the event of an Event of Default
(as defined below), to pay to the Payee, on demand, all costs and expenses
(including reasonable legal fees) incurred in connection with the enforcement
and collection of this Note. 


          1.          Prepayment.
The Principal Amount of this
Note may be prepaid in part and/or in full, together with all accrued but
unpaid interest due thereon through the date of prepayment, without penalty
upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Holder. 


          2.          Computation
of Interest. 


                       (a)          Base
Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2(b) and Section 2(c)
below, the outstanding Principal Amount shall bear interest at the rate of 6.0%
per annum calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days. 


                       (b)          Increasing
Interest Rate. In the event (i) the Maturity Date is extended pursuant to
the Extension, the rate of interest applicable to the unpaid Principal Amount
automatically shall increase to 9.0% per annum commencing on the day
immediately following the Maturity Date, and (ii) this Note is not repaid on
(a) the Maturity Date if this Note is not extended pursuant to the Extension,
or (b) on the date immediately following the last day of the Extension Period
if this Note is extended pursuant to the Extension, then the rate of interest
applicable to the unpaid Principal Amount automatically shall be adjusted to
twelve (12%) percent per annum through and including the date of repayment;
provided, that in no event shall the interest rate exceed the Maximum Rate
provided in Section 2(c) below. 


                       (c)          Maximum
Rate. In the event that it is determined that, under the applicable laws
relating to usury applicable to the Company or the indebtedness evidenced by
this Note (“Applicable Usury Laws”),
the interest charges and fees payable by the Company in connection herewith or
in connection with any other document or instrument executed and delivered in
connection herewith (collectively, the “Effective
Interest Rate”) cause the Effective Interest Rate applicable to
the indebtedness evidenced by this Note to exceed the maximum rate allowed by
law (the “Maximum Rate”),
then such interest shall be recalculated for the period in question and any
excess over the Maximum Rate paid with respect to such period shall be
credited, without further agreement or notice, to the Principal Amount
outstanding hereunder to reduce said balance by such amount with the same force
and effect as though the Company had specifically designated such extra sums to
be so applied to principal and the Payee had agreed to accept such extra
payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment. All such deemed prepayments shall be
applied to the principal balance payable at maturity.


-2-






                       (d)          Payment
of Interest. All accrued but unpaid interest on the Principal Amount shall
be due and payable on the Maturity, unless extended by the Company, in which
case all accrued interest on this Note shall be due upon the completion of the
Extension (the “Interest Payment Date”).



          3.          Covenants
of Company. The Company covenants
and agrees that, so long as this Note shall be outstanding, it will perform and
each of its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) perform the

assessments, and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Company or
upon its income and profits, or upon any of its property, before the same shall

which, if unpaid, might become a lien or charge upon such properties or any
part thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay and discharge any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim
so long as the validity thereof shall be contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and the Company shall set aside on its books adequate reserves in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) with respect to any such tax,
assessment, charge, levy or claim so contested; 


                                     (ii)         Maintenance
of Existence. The Company will do or cause to be done all things reasonably
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence, rights and franchises and comply with all laws applicable to the
Company, except where the failure to comply would not have a material adverse
effect on the Company;

of Property. The Company will at all times maintain, preserve, protect and
